Benefits of technology
The present invention is a pole that can be used to attach multiple pipes together, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly with common tools. The pole also helps to prevent snagging of fishing lines as they pass through the pipes. Additionally, the pole is flexible and can withstand heavy loads. The technical effects of this invention include improved efficiency in the assembly and disassembly of pipes, reduced risk of snagging fishing lines, and increased flexibility and durability of the pole.
Problems solved by technology
The first is that the wall thicknesses of the tubes are limited by the need for the tubes to be fully nestable when collapsed.
However, the thicker the walls, the lesser the ability to interconnect a number of poles to create the desired outrigger distance.
The second disadvantage is that the clamps create a snagging hazard for certain types of fishing, such as kite fishing where it is desirable that the outside of the outrigger is without obstruction.
However, these solutions eliminate the possibility of being able to collapse the outriggers for storage and / or transportation.

A coupling assembly to releasably couple two or more tubes together. The tubes can be assembled and disassembled with conventional hand tools. A line or cable can be routed through the tubes. The coupling assembly can prevent snagging of lines on the exterior of the tubes. The coupling assembly can flex with the tubes under load, and the line can be fed through the coupling assembly without snagging.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to coupling assemblies. More particularly, the present invention relates to extensible pole coupling assemblies.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Extensible poles, such as outriggers, are popular in fishing applications. Outriggers are rigid poles that are a part of the boat's rigging and are designed to extend fishing pole bait lines beyond the “white wash” of the water surrounding the boat. This is preferable because bait traveling through clear water is more likely to successfully attract and bait a fish. Once a fish takes the bait, the line is automatically released from the outrigger and all forces are transferred directly to a fishing pole secured to the gunnel of the boat. For example, the bait line can be connected to a quick release mechanism that releases the line and transfers forces to the pole when a fish engages the bait or otherwise pulls on the line.[0003]Outriggers typically include several...
